Abstract: The invention relates to transgenic expression cassettes for the expression of two nucleic acid sequences in a plant cell. Said cassettes comprise at least one regulatory sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) the promoter in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2, b) functional equivalents of the promoter in SEQ ID NO:  1 or 2, which are at least 80 % homologous with the sequence in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2 and exhibit essentially the same promoter activity as the promoter in SEQ  ID NO: 1 or 2, c) functional equivalents of the promoter in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2, which comprise at least 25 successive nucleotides of the sequences in SEQ ID  NO: 1 or 2 and exhibit essentially the same promoter activity as the promoter in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2, and d) functionally equivalent fragments of the sequences a) or b) or c), which comprise at least (25) successive nucleotides of said sequences a) or b) or c) and exhibit essentially the same promoter activity as the promoter in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2. Said regulatory element is positioned between two nucleic acid sequences, is heterogeneous in relation to said nucleic acid sequences and is functionally linked to said nucleic acid sequences in such a way that in at least one plant cell two different ribonucleic acid sequences are expressed, said ribonucleic acid sequences being selected from ribonucleic acid sequences that code for i) amino acid sequences or ii) ribonucleic acid sequences, which reduce the expression of at least one endogenous gene of said plant cell.

Title: Use of bisphosphonates for otosclerosis
Inventor: BROOKLER KENNETH H
IPC: A61K31/66
Filed: 2004-08-26
Abstract: A method of treating otosclerosis in a human in need thereof by administering a bisphosphonate in a defined dosing schedule. The invention demonstrates an effective response and sustained benefit in the treatment of otosclerosis. Particularly, the method involves administration of a bisphosphonate in a stepped-up dosage amount, e.g., in a dose that is at least one and a half times the recommended dose for osteoporosis. It also includes administration of a time­ dependent dose of more than one bisphosphonate, specifically, alternating administration of a first bisphosphonate with a second bisphosphonate. The inventive method further includes intravenous administration of a bisphosphonate, and optionally oral administration of a bisphosponate. The present invention further contemplates a kit for facilitating the alternating bisphosphonate dosing schedule.

Abstract: A new playing device for Ringette that improves on the current ring used in play. The various new rings proposed herein may have identical dimensions and either circular shape and tube diameter or may be a circular shape employing an elliptical cross-section. In either case the ring is appended with an interior striated series of raised rubber strands that improve the device properties. particularly the lift. In the case of the elliptical cross--section the aerodynamic speed and reduction of drag creates a smooth flow through the air when shot and allows superior shooting performance. A  colour correction for the ring from medium blue to black will improve visual acuity and consequent overall ring handling ability during any game. A final improvement is the removal of the raised lettering "Ringette", "Q19" and "Official" that extrude about 0.5 millimeter on one side of the ring and not the other creating a situation whereby ring sliding speed is determined by which of the two flat sides is laying on the ice. Also incorporated in this filing is the visual benefit of using coloured rings. Darker colours such as black are determined by sports optometrists as superior for play.  Correspondingly white or light gray colours are appropriate for practice sessions where elevation of player skill levels can be achieved by adoption of an awkward visual colour such as cited above.

Title: Outer coding methods for broadcast/multicast content and related apparatus
Inventor: VAYANOS ALKINOOS HECTOR
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2004-08-20
Abstract: Transmission techniques are provided that improve service continuity and reduce interruptions in delivery of content that can be caused by transitions that occur when the User Equipment (UE) moves from one cell to the other, or when the delivery of content changes from a Point-to-Point (PTP) connection to a Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) connection in the same serving cell, and vice-versa. Such transmission techniques enable seamless delivery of content across cell borders and/or between different transmission schemes such as Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) and Point-to-Point (PTP). Mechanisms for adjusting different streams and for recovering content from each data block during such transitions are also provided so that data is not lost during a transition.

Title: Method for calibrating rotation centres in veneer peeling
Inventor: HYYSTI MIKA
IPC: B27L5/02
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for peeling veneer from a log, wherein the centring device is automatically calibrated during the peeling process without interrupting the production. Used methods of prior art require the production to be interrupted during the calibration. In the method in accordance with the invention, the contour of the log is defined by means of techniques of prior art in the centring device by measuring the distance between the surface of the log and the rotation axis at several points along the length of the log, and the rotation centres of the ends of the log are set to the spindles of the lathe in accordance with this determination of contour. The validity of the centring is controlled by measuring the peeling yield while the log is positioned to the spindles of the lather in accordance with the data received from the centring device. The positioning of the rotation centres is continuously calibrated based on the control of the peeling yield, without interrupting the production.

IPC: G01N33/42
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: A method of obtaining a material property of a pavement material from a microwave field generally includes generating a microwave frequency electromagnetic field of a first mode about the pavement material. The frequency response of the pavement material in the electromagnetic field can be measured, such as by a network analyzer. The measurement of the frequency response permits correlating the frequency response to a material property of the pavement material sample, such as the density. A method of correcting for the roughness of a pavement material divides the pavement into a shallow layer and a deep layer. Two planar microwave circuits measure the permittivity of the shallow and deep layer. The permittivities are correlated to correct for roughness. An apparatus for obtaining the density of a pavement sample includes a microwave circuit and a network analyzer. The network analyzer measures the ftequency response to determine the density of the pavement material.

Title: Timed ignition shut off device
Inventor: CALLAHAN SEAN
IPC: B60K28/00
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic shut off device. It is particularly adapted for installation in vehicles, and is intended to limit the duration that a vehicle can be left idling. Idling of vehicles is common, particularly in colder climates.  However, idling also wastes fuel, and generates unnecessary harmful pollutant exhaust gases.  Minimization of unnecessary idling will have a beneficial impact, both financially and environmentally.  The present device includes timer means to automatically shut off an idling engine after a selected time interval. As well, the devise may be integral with a remote engine starter device. If a remote start is forgotten, the engine will be shut down after the selected time interval. Even more importantly, the device will shut down an engine which has been inadvertently started, such as by accidental triggering of a remote starter.  In circumstances where a car is started in a garage, the idle shut of device may save lives of occupants of the adjoining home, by preventing the extended production of fatal exhaust gases. Once shut down, the engine cannot be remotely started for a period of time, although it can be restarted with the ignition key.
